you write this like it's a problem finding one ?
just don't take a metered taxi that has stopped somewhere waiting for customers and they will use meter without asked
just spent 3 days in bangkok and i just love using public transportation there coming from phuket. 28km from the city to airport under 300b with tolls. in phuket you can't get 10km with that price. we were 3 white people + a thai and not once did we have to ask them to turn on the meter when we stopped a moving taxi. only had problems getting from silom to platinum at 2pm (stopped like 8 taxis and none of them wanted to go there due to traffic) so we took the taxi to BTS and went to MBK instead.
this wasn't all a reply to you but more just writing, again, how much better taxis/BTS etc are for bangkokians
